Legion honors ingles
(Continued from Page 1)
Brussels Legion and in .1940
served as president.
When a Legion branch, was
proposed in Howick where Mr.
Ingles lived, he assisted in
organizing the branch and
became first president. Ink
addition to his area Legion
activity he served for two years as
president of the Ontario Legion
Service Bureau.
He recalled that he was the
zone commander for C-1 in 1951
at a time when officers in
adjoining zones C3 and C4 were
Fred O'Brecht of Durham and
Ches. Merriam of Tara. Mr.
O'Brecht later became Dominion
President and Ches. Merriam
became Dominion Chairman.
Salaries
75% of
I3ofE cost
If 'quality of education hinges
on personnel costs Huron County
should rank as having one of the
best education systems in the
province. Just under 75 percent
of the money Huron taxpayers
pay for an education system goes
toward ' salaries for teachers,
administrators, secretaries,.
janitors and bus drivers. '
Roy Dunlop, supeyintendent of
business affairs for the board of
education, said Monday that 74.6
percent of the total education
budget is designated for salaries:
The total board of education
budget for 1978 is $21,381,859
and of that $15,940,760 pays the
help. ,
The wages are broken into five
categories. Business a dm n is-
tration , which includes DunloR,
some staff at the board's adminis-
trative offices and school secre-
taries cost $218,192 in 1978.
Teachers, principals, vice
principals, superintendents of
education and the education
director costs the taxpayers
$14,529,704 this year.
Employees . in educational .
services which include audio-
visual technicians and a librarian
cost $60,259.
Janitorial staff 'in the county
schools cost $980,099 and bus
drivers cost $152,506 in wages.
The bUdget, less the salaries, •
leaves the board with $5,441,099
to operate its education system.
That money is used for
purchasing supplies for schools,
paying legal costs, insurance
costs, operation of buses,
operation of elementary and
,,econdary schools, debt charges
and capital expenses.
The cost of wages in the
operation of the education system
has always been a source of
concern for trustees trying to
justify annual requisitions to the
county's 26 municipalities. The
trustees argue that three quarters
of the budget is fixed costs like
salaries and they have no power
to alter that. Added to that are the
fixed costs for debt charges and
plant operation which means taht
if wages are beyond the control of
the board's budget then over 90
percent of the money spent
annually is out of the hands of the
board of education trustees.,
The high ,precentage paid in
salaries is a shock to niany
business minded people. Many'
claim that if wages exceed 50
percent of gross expenses a
company is paying too ninth for
staff. If that rule of thumb applied
to education or many other
govertinie.nt agencies then one
third of the boar'd's staff would
have to face early retirement
4,c1tool taxes Would have to be
increased' by 30 percent:
Mr. Ingles has continued his
membership with Howich branch
307 which meets in VVroxeter. He
also is chairman of zone service
bureau.
In addition to his Legion
activities Mr. Ingles has found
time to serve locally on provincial
organization of curlers. A Liberal
in politics he has taken part in
many area campaigns.
The birthday party on Saturday
attracted representatives from
nine of the twelve branches in the
zone and arrangements for the •
event were carried out by Zone
Commander George Campbell
and members of the Brussels
branch.
At his birthday party on.
Saturday night, Mr, Ingles was
presented with a new Legion
outfit.
